I'm in the market for a new helmet and was wondering does anyone have any experience with a dual sport helmet on a road bike? It seems like almost every moto vlogger out there rides with one, even on sport bikes. Some people I know rave about them, supposedly better field of view, and most importantly, they look cool. |

I have had my Carbon Black Shark Explorer R for 3 years.. best helmet i ever had, the peak is really good but unfortunately restricts the full opening of the visor when fitted.. came with goggles too.. now using it with just clear visor and inner drop down tinted sunshield..

Zitat von Immersion Suit im Beitrag #1 If you mean a helmet with detachable visor - always a plus on long straight roads riding off into the sunset..., until that long straightaway beckons you above 60 mph. Then, noise and aerodynamic forces can become an issue. On the other hand, if you are going slow enough that people around you can actually see what you are wearing, then the visor can look cool - especially when combined with a 40 pound pair of steel reinforced boots. Just sayin'.

I've used an Arai Tour X4 for over twenty years, the latest one for 18 months. I originally bought it for two reasons, three if you include the discount because the salesman was a mate. I find Arai helmets suit the shape of my face better than most, I've had issues with biting my cheeks in the past and the looks, which I appreciate are subjective. Visibility is good, I don't notice any extra weight. I used to ride without the visor but keep it on now and I haven't noticed extra noise or buffeting. having said that I always wear ear plugs and if you want quiet wear an open face. I've not tried it but a big store may well let you trial one if you ask nicely. |

I'd like to add a dual sport helmet to the collection..........if it'll fit in the panniers with the visor attached. Any opinions on this? |
